I’m wallowing in models and data – emissions scenarios for C-ROADS and very interesting vehicle fleet data from a modeling project in support of a state climate plan. Hopefully I can share some of the latter at some point, when the dust settles.

A nice break was provided by these two visitors, right on schedule for the annual ravaging of a crabapple tree in our yard.

From our wildlife cam in the woods. This is either bear #4 or 5 this season – not the mother & cub, and not the big black one that hangs out on our porch hoping for cat food. Not sure why, but it’s a very big year for bears.

Sunrise at Las Vegas Bay Wash campground on now-diminished Lake Mead about 10 days ago. Judging by sediments, the lake formerly reached well up the banks in the foreground at lower left. Now it would be a very looong walk to reach the shore.
